Page: 2 of 8 Quick Reference Electrician Installation Information WARNIN! Failure to confirm voltage can result in serious damage, injury, or even death. 1. Confirm Voltage. Confirm the voltage of the Surge Protective (SPD) device matches the utility voltage. (Reference Section I, System Identification Labels.) Should the Utility Voltage not match the SPD voltage, DO NOT INSTALL THE SPD CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SALES REPRESENTATIVE OR THOR SYSTEMS. 2. Neutral round Bond Confirmation. If the SPD is connected to a Split Phase, 3 Phase WYE, or 3 Phase High Leg Delta Transformer supplied source, confirm the Neutral and round have a bonding jumper in place. Note: If the X 0 bond is not in place, do NOT install the SPD. 3. Mounting Location Recommendations. Mount the SPD in a location that ensures the conductors are as short and straight as possible. 4. Wire Size: The SPD is pre wired with #10AW wire, as listed below. Industrial Models (TSni) are provided with #10 Corona High Voltage Wire. Commercial Models (TSnc) are provided with #10 MTW Wire. Each phase conductor extends twenty four inches (24 ) outside the enclosure, while the round and Neutral conductors (if applicable) extend thirty six inches (36 ) outside the enclosure. If the wires provided are not long enough to reach the respective terminals and a splice is required, DO NOT USE WIRE NUTS. Use a mechanical or compression lug to make the splice connection. Be sure to wrap the lugs with a dielectric tape to prevent arcing. 5. Form C Contacts: Models that include a Form C Contact need to have the wires enter the SPD through a knockout other than the power wire knockout. Keep a minimum of two inches (2 ) separation between the Form C wires and the power wires. If the SPD is mounted outdoors or in an area that may expose the device to moisture, the SPD conduit opening must be sealed with silicone. I. SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION LABELS A. UL Label.

The SPD should now be on line and protecting the load, as indicated by a reen LED. If the reen LED does not illuminate and/or if the Red LED does illuminate confirm voltages feeding the SPD. If the voltage appears correct, contact your local Sales Representative or THOR SYSTEMS. VII. SYSTEM MONITORIN TYPES Your surge protection SPD system will include one (1) of two (2) monitoring types. For proper monitoring operation, confirm the monitor comes on line per the descriptions on the following page. A. Type 1 Monitor, Vertical PCB (Standard) 1. Features. reen and Red LED visible through the Clear Lid. [See Fig 2] 2. During normal operation. The reen LED is illuminated confirming AC power to the SPD and indicating ALL of the protection modes are functional. Enlarged View of LEDs FI #2 TYPE 1 MONITOR 3. After a Fault Condition. The Red LED will illuminate upon any protection mode loss. Two (2) yellow tabs will protrude from the protection mode element (TpMOV) that has failed. In the event of a protection mode loss, you should contact your local Sales Representative or THOR SYSTEMS. B. Type 2 Monitor, TSm270s (Optional) 1. Features. Audible Alarm and Surge Counter; includes a four (4) Button Monitor Display providing a system reen and Red LED, Audible Alarm with Acknowledge Button, and a Surge Counter. The Surge Counter has eight (8) sensitivity settings. [See Fig 3] 2. During normal operation. During the SPD initial power up, the Surge Counter will display the Sensitivity Setting. The Sensitivity Setting is set to 3 by the factory. (See additional Surge Counter operations in the Monitoring Overview section below.) The reen LED is illuminated confirming AC power to the SPD and indicating ALL of the protection modes are functional. The Yellow ENABLE LED is illuminated indicating that the Audible Alarm will sound in the event of a fault condition. FI #3 TYPE 2 MONITOR
Page: 7 of 8 VII. SYSTEM MONITORIN TYPES, CONTINUED The Surge Counter will display 0000 or other four (4) digit display representing the number of impulses the SPD has diverted. (See additional Surge Counter operations in the Monitoring Overview section below.) 3. After a Fault Condition. The Red LED will illuminate upon any protection mode loss. The Audible Alarm will sound (if the Alarm is enabled). The Surge Counter will flash ALRM until the Acknowledge ACK button is pushed. Two (2) yellow tabs will protrude from the protection mode element (TpMOV) that has failed. 4. Monitoring Overview. The TSm 270a Monitor uses a four (4) digit alpha numeric LED display capable of indicating up to 27,000 impulse events. The 270a Monitor also contains four (4) indicating LEDs and four (4) membrane style switches capable of over one million operations. a. Indicating LEDs. The reen STATUS LED is used to indicate that power is applied to the SPD. The Red ALARM LED is used to indicate the loss of a protection mode within the unit. The Yellow ENABLE LED indicates the status of the audible alarm and, finally, the Yellow ACTIVE SURE LED illuminates during an actual counted surge event. b. LED Display. The four (4) digit LED 5x7 dot matrix smart alpha numeric display uses both alpha and numeric characters to count up to 27,000 impulse events. This is accomplished by converting the first character into a letter when the 10,000 impulse level is reached (example, A000). The letter is then incremented after each subsequent 1000 impulses for a total of 26,999 (example, Z999) counts c. Membrane Switches ON. Pressing the ON switch will power the monitor on and off, extinguishing all LEDs and the display. Pressing the ON switch a second time will illuminate the LEDs and Display in the same configuration as before the monitor was turned off. Any impulses recorded on the Display will be stored in an EE prom and will be displayed again when the monitor is turned back on. ACK. Pressing the ACK switch will silence the audible alarm in an alarm condition. If the alarm condition has cleared, pressing the ACK switch again will reset the display to the normal condition. ENABLE. Pressing the ENABLE switch enables and disables the audible alarm function on the SPD. The current status is indicated by the Yellow ENABLE LED. If the Yellow LED is illuminated, the Audible Alarm is enabled. If the Yellow LED is not illuminated, the Audible Alarm is disabled. RESET. The RESET switch will reset the impulse counter back to zero. Due to the advantages of knowing the total number of impulses the unit has experienced in a diagnostic situation, the RESET switch requires additional inputs for a reset to be performed. Please contact THOR SYSTEMS Customer Service, for these additional inputs.
Page: 8 of 8 VII. SYSTEM MONITORIN TYPES, CONTINUED d. Sensitivity Settings. The TSm 270a monitor has the capability of adjusting the sensitivity of the count circuitry. Often due to the electrical environment at the installation, the counter can experience excessive events that are continuously incremented or lower level events that do not trigger the counter. The Sensitivity Settings allow an adjustment of the circuit due to the electrical environment without requiring a hardware change. adjust the Sensitivity Setting, press and hold the ENABLE and ACK switches. After three seconds, the LED display will change to the sensitivity screen [SEN?]. The question mark [?] will actually display the current sensitivity setting factory set to 3. Using the ON and RESET switches will increase and decrease the sensitivity setting. The lower the setting, the more sensitive the circuit becomes, the higher the setting the less sensitive the circuit is. Settings are provided from 1 to 8. After the new level is selected, press the ACK switch. The monitor will return to normal operation and the sensitivity level will be displayed on any power up function of the monitor.
